Vamos México

The train is filled to its maximum. I can’t move and so can’t the others. We are on our way to the 3. biggest stadium in the world, La Estadio Azteca, with a capacity of 105.064 people, build in 1966. Tonight is Mexico playing against San Salvador.

After “fighting” or pushing hard to get of the train is it now just to follow the mass. I can see the big block of concrete in front of me. It is huge. On our way to the entrance is Nina buying a Mexican flag and Celine is buying a princess crone in the color of the Mexican flag.

We are just entering our sites at the stadium, when the kickoff begins. The atmosphere this night is good, especially when a wave starts and is going around the stadium for four rounds. On the steep steps are waiters going around serving the audience.

The stadium is steep so even though that we are sitting far away from the field doesn’t it fill so. When I’m looking around is it only the green color I can see, because all Mexican is wearing a green shirt to represent their team.

“Puto”

The arms is in the air and the noise is getting louder every time the goalkeeper from El Salvador is getting ready to kick the ball. When he kicks it, is the whole stadium shouting “Puto” (prostitute).

Doing the whole game is the atmosphere high especially after only few minutes’ play when Mexico is scoring to 1-0.

Doing the game is people starting to sing the famous song; Cielito lindo. So it fills more being to a family party than at a football match.

The game end 3-0 to Mexico and as so many times before is there people fighting at the end, but not over the game but over thrown beer mugs. – A think I didn’t see anything of a week before when I was seeing a NBA game in San Antonio.

When Celine, Nina, Adriana and I are standing in the line to the metro back home is it with a smile on our faces after a good experience, ass Nina is concluding: “It could be fun if we could be going to another game soon”.
